Their pre-positioning constitutes a potential real-world threat to our physical safety that the FBI is not going to tolerate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/news\/stories\/chinese-hackers-have-entire-nation-in-their-crosshairs-fbi-director-warns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Speaking about the operation<\/a> before the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Wray said it demonstrated that the threat posed by CCP-sponsored hackers was more than simply theoretical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Volt Typhoon malware enabled China to hide, among other things, pre-operational reconnaissance and network exploitation against critical infrastructure like our communications, energy, transportation, and water sectors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>That amounted to China taking steps \u201cto find and prepare to destroy or degrade the civilian critical infrastructure that keeps us safe and prosperous\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>SOHO device vendors told to design for security<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published guidance, prepared together with the FBI, on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/resources-tools\/resources\/secure-design-alert-security-design-improvements-soho-device-manufacturers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">security design improvements<\/a> for SOHO device manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>The guidance was based on the spate of recent attacks against SOHO routers, especially by Volt Typhoon, CISA said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCISA and FBI are urging SOHO router manufacturers to build security into the design, development, and maintenance of SOHO routers to eliminate the path these threat actors are taking to (1) compromise these devices and (2) use these devices as launching pads to further compromise U.S. critical infrastructure entities,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCISA and FBI also urge manufacturers to protect against Volt Typhoon activity and other cyber threats by disclosing vulnerabilities via the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program as well as by supplying accurate Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classification for these vulnerabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris Wysopal, co-founder and chief technology officer at Veracode, said combating threats from groups such as Volt Typhoon required effort from device operators as well as vendors. While vendors needed to build systems that were secure by design, operators needed to ensure they updated software, hardened configurations, and added security solutions where necessary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have known for decades that foreign adversaries could attack critical infrastructure by exploiting the vulnerabilities in the software and devices used in water, power, and transportation systems,\u201d Wysopal said. \u201cOnly in the last few years has the federal government started to tackle this vulnerability as the threats have become increasingly real. There are decades of security debt of unpatched software, poor security configurations and missing security features.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a
